Ethyl 7-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)heptanoate CAS 68887-62-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 224.30 g/mol gives Ethyl 7-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)heptanoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Ethyl 7-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)heptanoate (CAS 68887-62-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H20N2O2, MW 224.30 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C12H20N2O2, Ethyl 7-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)heptanoate contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 224.30 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 7-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)heptanoate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
